Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . in the arms of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd is quickly shown cramming the long shaft of his fun gun down the mouthy hare's throat. As EASTER YEGGS begins, a skeptical Bugs is shown Tsk-Tsking as a reads a book entitled HOW TO MULTIPLY. Warner Bros.' animators make it abundantly clear that Bugs is studying up on advanced math in a Biblical sense, as in "One plus one equals Baby." But carefree bachelor Bugs' resistance to what can only be regarded as a Sex Education tome suggests that America's favorite bunny has no interest in being a link in a Multi-generational chain in the Disney sense. In lieu of Intersexual Hanky Panky, Bugs fools around with Elmer Fudd, despite the latter's strong desire for (as he puts it himself) "Some nice, juicy Easter Bunny stew." Before Wisconsin ordered Jeffrey Dahmer to be executed Shish-Kabob style with a mop handle, many hours of post-conviction interviews were recorded with America's most infamous Gay Young Cannibal. It's not surprising that during one session J.D. named EASTER YEGGS as his favorite Looney Tune.
eusebius123 The people complaining about Elmer Fudd hunting for food clearly haven't watched many Bugs Bunny cartoons. "Wabbit stew" was always what Elmer was after when he went hunting — it was one of his catchphrases well before this cartoon was made (example: "Hare Tonic" from 1945, directed by Chuck Jones). It's part of what makes that line so funny in this cartoon! Jones didn't ret-con Elmer into being a vegetarian until "Rabbit Fire" in 1951, so it's hard to understand how McKimson should have been able to foresee that four years earlier. And the mention of Elmer as a vegetarian was just for the sake of a gag anyway, not to establish a running character trait — after all, in 1953, Jones was back to having Elmer hunt for "wabbit stew" in "Duck! Rabbit! Duck!".As for Bugs being mean-spirited, the same comment applies — Bugs was always somewhat of an amoral character in the 1940s cartoons, even going so far as to be an outright jerk sometimes (particularly in his earliest appearances, such as "Elmer's Pet Rabbit" and the Cecil the Turtle shorts). Jones didn't make him into a goody-two-shoes type character until later in the 1950s.And of course it's not like the WB cartoons ever cared much about canon or continuity anyway. Next thing you know, someone will be complaining about inconsistency in "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century" because Daffy Duck usually isn't a space marine.
TheLittleSongbird Easter Yeggs isn't among the best, but it is very funny and a pleasant enough themed cartoon. I can understand why people mayn't like it, although I was personally satisfied by the ending it is very shocking all the same, and Elmer's character here has an inconsistency that he hunts for food here.If you ignore the inconsistency or at least try to, Easter Yeggs is quite fun. The story is simple but engaging enough, and there are many funny and quotable lines in the dialogue. The animation is crisp and smooth with beautiful colours and the music is lively. I feel this is an instance when the dialogue is better than the sight gags, but most of the sight gags do work, and the voice work is terrific as per usual.Overall, a nice cartoon. 8/10 Bethany Cox
ccthemovieman-1 We see a funny sight right off the bat: Bugs Bunny reading a book titled, "How To Multiply." He seems to be enjoying it. Nearby someone is sobbing out loud. Bugs checks it out and finds it's the "Easter Bunny," who is worried about delivering his colored eggs on this day because his feet are killing him. Bugs volunteers to deliver the "Technicolor hen fruit."His first stop is a house that says "Dead End Kid" on it. If you've seen any of the Dead End Kids movies you'll know what to expect. After narrowly escaping with his life, Bugs quits, but get talked into trying one more delivery. It turns out to be Elmer Fudd's house. Bugs tries to get into the spirit of the holiday but it's knda tough when the recipient is waiting inside with a shotgun to blow your head off! Most of the rest of the story has Bugs and Elmer going back and forth with each other. It's okay, but nothing worth noting.The ending was a bit of a shock, but knowing the "Ain't I A Stinker?" Bugs Bunny attitude, maybe it wasn't.
